Not sure if anyone else has posted about this recently but I think the email scammers are now moving to the telephone.
I currently have an add out to share my boy, I received a phone call this afternoon from a number which is miles away from where i live. The lady had a very obvious 'put on' english accent.
The phone call went like this:
Me: Hello
Lady: Hello I live in Oxfordshire, is that too far?
Me: In regards to what?
Lady: I would pay for you to transport your horse to me, for the time I need.... I need a horse for practice...for the summer
Me: No thank you very much
Call ended.
Sounds very much like the email scam but via the phone in broken, posh english accents!
Hopefully no one will fall for this....
